Large SCH

I suppose I could use some encouragement from the mommies and mommies to be out there.I'm 14w4 days pregnant. I had a small SCH on November 30 with a lot of clean blood. Rushed to ER convinced I was losing baby. After an ultrasound showed a healthy baby with a stein heart, they diagnosed me with a SCH and a small separation of my placenta from the uterine wall. I was on strict bed rest for 48 hours after bleeding stopped (which was done by time I got to ER). Did modified for 2 days more. Returned to work and stopped picking my 2 1/2 yr old up for fear of straining.2 weeks later (yesterday) I was back at ER. My SCH had receded, then doubled in size. More bleeding. The baby is still moving around all over the place and heart is strong and steady. I'm on bed rest again, and plan on staying down this week, maybe even next. I am farther than most to be experiencing this. That worries me considerably. I have seen my baby's profile. In 2 weeks, I'll be able to know if I'm having a boy or girl. I feel terrified, angry, and heartbroken. My faith is in God, but I know God will do what is right, regardless of whether I understand it or how much it hurts me.I'm also thinking about getting a new ob. My ob acts like this is nbd and it's kinda bothering me. I read the miscarry percent for a woman under 35 in this situation is only 9%, but I can't find many successful personal stories. Anything you'd be willing to share would be greatly appreciated.

My situation was similar to your except I had no separation. I was 16 weeks when I started bleeding and went to the ER and it stopped there, we expected the worst but we saw a healthy heart beat and baby bouncing around. I had no bleeding after that episode however do my situation is a little different. The hemorrhage itself was pretty significant in size and I was given a 50/50 chance of miscarrying. Thankfully everything turned out okay, I had other misfortunes and had her 6 weeks early and she weighed only 3 lbs. I hope you have a similar outcome that results in a healthy baby.

I had a very similar situation with my second baby. I had a large bleed at 14 weeks and was sure I was loosing the baby. I was diagnosed with a large sch with slight detachment of the placenta. I was put on bed rest for 2 days and lifting restrictions for weeks along with pelvic rest. I did the best I could with the lifting but I had a 2.5 yo as well and sometimes had no choice. Initially the area did get bigger but by 18 weeks it was shrinking and completely gone at 28 weeks. I gave birth to a 8 lb 5oz baby girl at 38 weeks with no other issue. I know it's tough but don't google it will only make you crazy. I am in the medical field and made my self sick reading all the stuff out there. Take it easy follow what your dr says and things will prob work out fine.

I'm 30w and still have my SCH that was diagnosed at 19w. My big bleed was 15w took them 2 US to find it. I also have slight ( less then 10%) separation. I did complete bedrest untill 25 weeks, I have a 2 yr old also but my family stepped in and where they couldn't I hired people ( cleaning, groceries). My SCH is smaller and absorbing so I'm off rest but still on pelvic rest. Do as little as you can it's a tear, it needs time to heal. GL

There is a support group on SCH I find it very helpful to read women's success stories. Its on the babycenter.com site. There are more positive outcomes then there are negative. I was Dx with mine at 8 weeks and I'm now 13 weeks. Stay positive I know exactly how scary it can be. I'll find out today if it's still there. Praying that it is gone. Good luck to you :)
